HealthNavigator
Goal
Patients with a chronic heart disease, who regularly exercise, can reduce further deterioration of the disease, prevent readmission and increase their quality of life. Chronic heart diseases limit patients’ physical capabilities. As a result, patients often feel insecure and are uncertain of how to best stay within their physical limits. Consequently, many patients become too careful and avoid exercise in general.
HealthNavigator aims to improve physical fitness of chronic heart patients and increase confidence about their physical abilities. The system encourages the patient while walking and cycling on touristic paths by providing feedback on the patient’s performance, based on measured sensor data, and available information about the environment. The system consists of an app on a smartphone and an additional set of sensors. HealthNavigator will be an easy-to-use system, which can measure heart rate, activity, and when appropriate, saturation and breathing frequency. Furthermore, the app proposes different walking routes and shows the routes’ characteristics, such as difficulty or prospective arrival time (based on medical data). On route, the system provides navigation and presents touristic and topographic information. During delays, the system can compute alternatives, e.g. the fastest way home.
The consortium consists of three partners from Germany: Gewinet e.V., Schüchtermann Schiller’sche Kliniken, OFFIS e.V. and one partner from the Netherlands: Roessingh Research and Development. The project started in 2011 and will run for 4 years.
